Arsenal did shuffle around their formation in an attempt to accommodate Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud, and Cazorla did appear to benefit from a more central role. Alexis Sanchez's impact on the game waned compared to previously, and fitting them all in is going to be a puzzle for Arsene Wenger to put together.

With Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil eventually due to return too, it will only get tougher, and perhaps knowing competition for his spot is increasing will continue to have a positive effect on Cazorla.
